Mr Frojo Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Make sure its not a transparant color. Select the text tool, click where you want to type, and then type. I'm still alive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanunknown Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 thnx but i dunno how i could tell if it was transparent anyway, but it seems to be working now. strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Frojo Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 When you click more on the color window, theres a slider around the bottom For transparency-alpha. The farther over to transparency it is, the more transparent it will be. 0=Fully transparent, 255=not transparent at all. I'm still alive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Care to check if the layer you draw on is selected, too. No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanette Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Care to check if the layer you draw on is selected, too. WELL I MUST BE REALLY DUMB. I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING PREVIOUSL SUGGESTED AND I STILL DO NOT SEE ANY TEXT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzKill Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Is your text color (primary color) the same as the color of the image? Has the Layer's Blend Mode been changed? Are you having this problem with all your fonts? - DO NOT contact me asking for the .pdn of my avatar or the PDN logo. Thank you. Have a nice day.

shootingstarswishingheart Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I know this sounds like a really silly and "der" question. But did you remember to click where you wanted the text to start? http://shootingstars.wishinghearts.googlepages.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Also, make sure that if you have an active selection your text is inside it. Otherwise, you can press ESC to get rid of your selection before trying to use the text tool.

sparkly Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Maybe there is another layer on top of the one you are writing on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Please use Ctrl + D instead, ESC may do a lot of other things (canceling a Gradient...). No. Way. I've just seen Bob.
